Objective: To determine the relationship between the risk factors for ischemic stroke and microalbuminuria.

Material And Method: We enrolled 173 patients older than 25 years who had at least two risk factors for stroke. The patients were assessed by questionnaire, blood pressure, microalbuminuria, height and weight measurement. The patients were given health education.

Results: The common risk factors were hypertension (80.3%), dyslipidemia (56.6%), and multiple cerebral infarction (39.9%). The hypertensive patients had 5 times risk of microalbuminuria 5.0 compared to normotensive patients (95% CI, 1.13-21.90; p-value < 0.05). Among diabetes patients had risk of microalbuminuria 27.1 times compared to non-diabetic patients (95% CI, 9.58-76.82; p-value < 0.01). However, the patients who had dyslipidemia had risk of microalbuminuria 1.784 times of who did not, but no statistically significant (95% CI, 0.79-4.03; p-value > 0.05).

Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are significantly risk factor of ischemic stroke related to microalbuminuria.

Optimizing the life of vascular access during follow-up.

Department of Vascular Surgery, ASST Settelaghi Universitary Teaching Hospital, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy.

Optimizing the longevity of vascular access in hemodialysis patients remains a critical aspect of patient care, given the significant role of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) in enabling effective dialysis. Vascular access complications, such as stenosis, thrombosis, and cannulation-related damage, continue to challenge both the functionality and the sustainability of these access points. Recent advancements underscore the importance of a robust follow-up strategy, integrating clinical evaluations with diagnostic tools like color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and emerging interventional approaches such as drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty.
